procedure: This test requires the person
to run back and forth between two parallel lines as fast as possible. Set up two lines of cones 30 feet apart or use line markings, and place two blocks of wood or a similar object behind one of the lines. Starting at the line opposite the blocks, on the signal "Ready? Go!" the participant runs to the other line, picks up a block and returns to place it behind the starting line, then returns to pick up the second block, then runs with it back across the line. See Shuttle Agility Test video.

scoring: Two or more trails may be performed, and the quickest time is recorded. Results are recorded to the nearest tenth of a second.

variations / modifications: The test procedure can be varied by changing
the number of shuttles performed, the distance between turns (see the similar 10 meter shuttle) and by removing the need for the person pick
up and return objects from the turning points.

advantages: this test can be conducted on large groups relatively quickly with minimal equipment required.

comments: the blocks should be placed at the line, not thrown across them. Also make sure the participants run through the finish line to maximize their score.
